In celebration of National Toothbrushing Day, educators at Twinkle Star and Day Care Centre engaged children in discussions about the significance of daily tooth brushing.
The centre’s director, Premina Singh, shared that the teachers emphasized their own tooth brushing routines to help the children grasp the importance of maintaining healthy teeth and gums.
“We were provided toothbrushes and toothpaste by Colgate, which were distributed to our students,” Ms. Singh mentioned.
She stressed the importance of practicing good oral hygiene through regular brushing, highlighting that it is crucial for students to take care of their teeth and gums to prevent serious health issues.
“Having healthy teeth and gums also contributes to good mental health and self-esteem, as clean teeth are essential for eating and effective communication,” she added.
Throughout the day, students were also shown posters and images related to oral health, aiding their understanding of dental care.
Every day, the students at the centre brush their teeth after lunch, reinforcing the importance of oral hygiene in their daily routine.
